My favorite part about walking the dogs at night in my new town #evanston is passing the apt bldgs with all the lights aglow, especially at #xmas . This is my favorite bldg, curved bays windows and French doors and a magical little courtyard entrance with a fountain tucked into its center. #evanstonmade #twinklelights #magicalwinterlights

Every have a client that had such good taste that you were actually intimidated to work with them? Well that happened to me when Matthew of @mrdognewyork , makers of gorgeous sophisticated dog accessories asked me to make a portrait for Christmas. Thankfully it turned into a wonderful collaboration when he suggested using some of their fabric. I love how handsome Dexter looks against this #Herringbone #tweed. Thanks so much Matthew! Hope it was a hit! #bettertogether #brusselsgriffon

So there were a few surprises in my #bestof2016 . Didn't expect my #chickadee pin to be included. And didn't expect the top 3 to be from my "56" series, tho these pieces are personal favorites of mine. Seeing them here just makes me frustrated that I haven't had time to develop them more. But a new year brings new promise! Thanks for all your likes and comments and follows and friendship. I ❤️ my #igcommunity

"Joanie & Her Toys"-6" hoop Thank goodness this client was so lovely. I made her wait forever for this hoop! These interiors are so fun to make but so incredibly time consuming! And with the holidays I had to put Joanie on the back burner for a bit. But she's home now and up on the wall and client loves her! #dogtoys #happydog #customart

Recent visit from the NYC faction. We braved the elements and let the dogs run along the beach. Though I think these two were plenty happy to be in the girls' arms. BTW, that's my faux fur leopard coat from the 80s being put to good use! #evanstonbeach #winterbeach #dogfun (at Lee Street Beach)

This is the Mollie Pillow in full. It measures 18" with a bottom zipper. My first pillow commission. I think it's pretty cool. What do y'all think?

We moved 3 weeks ago which kept me off on IG for many weeks. And now I've been busy in Santas Workshop making many portraits for thoughtful gift givers. I can't wait till after the big day when I can start to share them all! For now, this may be just another lawn sign but it really feels like the philosophy of my new town. 💞 #evanston #specialplace #nohate #lovemytown

We couldn't bring ourselves to throw out the kids stuffed animal in the move and it turns out the #furkids are very appreciative! #dogbed #stuffedanimal #comfybed
